"Your servant respectfully bids farewell to my mother!" The Queen respectfully watched the Queen Mother leave.
"Miao'er! Ayin! Look at how I'm going to deal with you two!" The Queen shouted deliberately as she looked at the Queen Mother's receding back.
After shouting twice, he did not chase the two children, but turned around and opened the door of the guest room.
In the inner room, Ke Zun was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly open. He was already awake.
Amber, the maid who served Kezun personally, was sitting by the bed, combing Kezun's hair.
"What happened just now?" Ke Zun asked with difficulty.
"Nothing, it's just that the Empress Dowager and the concubines came to visit you. You were still asleep, so they sat for a while and then left."
…
Shoukang Palace.
The Empress Dowager suppressed her anger and combed her hair again. Looking at the handful of her hair that had been pulled out, she trembled with pain.
"Hmph! Xia Miaoyuan, that little bastard!" The Empress Dowager pinched the walnuts on the table fiercely.
"It's my fault!"
Nanny Ji kindly stepped forward and massaged the Empress Dowager's back to help her calm down.
"Empress Dowager, please don't be too angry. Even if we don't succeed this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The Empress Dowager originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the Empress brought Meng into the palace to recuperate and use some means to make Meng die in the palace.
It was not in accordance with etiquette for the empress's mother to stay in the palace to recuperate. If Emperor Mingxi had not given permission, the empress would not have dared to bring Meng into the palace to recuperate.
The Empress Dowager wanted to kill Meng in the palace.
This would inevitably cause an uproar in the palace, and he would take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and spread rumors in the palace, saying that Meng brought bad luck to the palace.
In addition, there was the thunder incident during a drought in Kunning Palace a while ago.
Putting these two things together, the queen will inevitably be attacked by public opinion.
If handled properly, public opinion could spread beyond the palace. Civil and military officials, as well as the people of the capital, could all be influenced by public opinion, and it would not be impossible for the empress to be deposed.
The Empress Dowager knew that people with mental illness were most afraid of being provoked. She had planned to give Meng a good provocation today, but she didn't expect the Queen to be so wary, and Xia Miaoyuan made trouble at the right time, completely destroying her plan.
"Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself!" Nanny Ji comforted softly.
"I heard that Madam Meng is very ill. Even if we don't get involved, it will be difficult for her to recover. She will die sooner or later."
The Empress Dowager felt a little better after hearing this. "Okay, I'll just wait and see."
After a pause, the Empress Dowager continued, "However, even if I don't take action against the Meng family, I can still make their lives difficult."
A few days later, a rumor quietly spread in the palace.
That is, Emperor Mingxi deliberately brought Kezun into the palace to recuperate.
It was not out of filial piety, nor out of love for the queen, but to control the entire Xiaolin tribe.
Now on the battlefield in the northern border, Xiao Lin's tribe has taken over more and more tribes, and Emperor Mingxi can't help but feel wary.
Putting Ke Zun in the palace to recuperate was called recuperation, but in reality it was house arrest. It was like holding him hostage.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the willow trees were sprouting new branches. In a blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The queen stayed with Kezun day and night and would not leave his room unless it was something important.
She temporarily handed over the affairs of the six palaces to Concubine Shu for help.
Xia Miaoyuan also seems to be very busy recently.
She and Xiao Wanyin were very concerned about Kezun's illness and always wanted to stay by Kezun's bedside and take care of her.
But the queen didn't want Kezun's illness to affect their normal life.
So the two little guys went to school during the day and went to see Kezun after school.
As for Xia Miaoyuan, she had one more thing, which was the seven-colored magic bead.
She has not yet discovered the mystery of the magic pearl. Every night, she holds the colorful magic pearl in her hands, worried.
Later, in order to keep in close contact with the seven-colored magic beads at all times, Xia Miaoyuan simply asked the jewelers in the palace to make an exquisite small cage with gold, put the magic beads in it, and then hung it around his neck like a necklace.
When he was in school, Xia Miaoyuan stuffed the magic pearl into his clothes to prevent it from being seen and causing trouble.
…
Huangzhuang Nursery Garden.
Prince Jin and Princess Jin stood on the edge of the field, admiring the fruits of their cultivation and feeling extremely happy.
Now, in addition to bananas, corn, potatoes, tomatoes and several other exotic crops not only survive successfully but also bear fruit.
The corn stalks grew tall and strong, and the corns were almost as long as a palm, and they grew on top of each other, just waiting to be picked and eaten once they were grown.
The situation is much the same with tomatoes and potatoes.
"My dear husband, look at this!" Princess Jin walked to a tomato vine, carefully picked up a green tomato with her hand, and showed it to Prince Jin.
"It's almost as big as an egg now. I estimate it will be fully grown in another twenty days or a month."
Prince Jin walked over and put his arm around Princess Jin's shoulders lovingly: "Yes, when the time comes, we will pick the biggest and reddest ones and send them to the palace for the Emperor and Empress to see."
"Oh!" Princess Jin cried out in a low voice in reproach, pushed away the arm that was around her shoulders, and pointed with her chin at Old Man Sun who was squatting over there.
"It's not good for people to see it in broad daylight."
King Jin covered his mouth and laughed, "Okay, the little king was wrong."
At this time, Old Sun stood up and shouted to them excitedly: "Prince, Princess, come and see!"
The King of Jin and his wife responded and walked over.
This field is planted with potatoes. Just now, Old Sun tried to dig up a potato vine and carefully dug up the soil underneath. He saw that there were already a few small potatoes underneath.
"Your Highness, Princess, I just tried to dig up two plants, and they've already produced potatoes."
"From the looks of it, the potatoes in this patch should be growing well!"
King Jin couldn't help but clap his hands and shouted, "Great!"
"At most, we'll have to wait another month before we can pick these and send them to the palace."
Princess Jin beamed with joy, "My dear husband, our hard work has finally paid off."
Outside the gate of the breeding garden, a figure was peering inside stealthily through the crack of the door.
It was the Nanny Xie who was brought back from the street by Princess Jin.
Aunt Xie pricked up her ears to listen, but unfortunately she was too far away and could not hear anything.
Aunt Xie was upset and crushed the grass on the ground with the sole of her shoe.
At this moment, Old Sun came out carrying a hoe, pushed open the door and walked out.
He ran into Aunt Xie head-on.
"Ouch!" Old Sun was startled and fell to the ground immediately.
After getting up from the ground and standing still, Old Sun looked at Aunt Xie and complained, "Why are you standing here for no reason?"
Aunt Xie smiled and took out a coarse cloth from her waist. She brushed the dirt off Old Man Sun's body and said, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
"I'm standing here, wanting to ask the prince and princess to go back for dinner."
Old Sun looked puzzled: "You are not the cook, when will it be your turn to eat?"
